Trev Fleming: The one with the Thinking Words!
<p>In ep 178 of <strong>“How Do You Say That?!”</strong> sponsored by <a href="https://britishvoiceover.co.uk/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">britishvoiceover.co.uk</a>, Trev Fleming joins Sam and Mark to talk about splitting the difference between dynamic and powerful to create a compelling read and how strict timings can impact a performance. We learn how to teach something whilst being conversational in a long e-learning course... and why being clean with no 'ums' and 'errs' is a presenter trait rather than an actor's one. Did you know other languages have "thinking words" where we just put in an 'umm' or an 'aah'?</p><p>Our fun facts cover Geography graduates, smashing pedal bikes, and a slicing knife nightmare that might make you feel queasy. Our wildcards are a lizard person from the centre of the earth, an irate football dad on the sidelines, and a dog who gets excited when he hears the word walk!</p><p></p><p>Our VO question this week is all about whether actors get a better reaction from casting directors when they stop trying to appear impressive.</p><p></p><p><strong>Get involved!

This is his thumbnail. The same one, each and every time. For me, as a big fan, I immediately recognise it when I see it mixed in with other videos on the recommended sidebar.</p><p>Is this thumbnail good? No, it’s actually modest, at best! It does show his face and you can clearly read the text, but that’s about it. Still, this style works for him. He doesn’t want to hire a person who handles his graphics, he just wants to put his content out there ASAP.</p><p></p><p><strong><u>Script 2</u></strong></p><p>To meet these challenges, we designed precise, dynamic, evolving adaptations.</p><p>A soundtrack that adjusts in real time to the lights, the pace, and the energy of the arena.</p><p>This is not just background music.</p><p>It’s a signature.</p><p>A wave that resonates through the players’ entrance show.</p><p>That elevates the ceremonies.</p><p>That fuels digital platforms and social media.</p><p>A sound that amplifies the experience—and the power of the competition.</p><p></p><p><strong>We'd love your feedback - and if you listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, hit the follow button today!</strong></p><p>**Listen to all of our podcasts <a href="https://britishvoiceover.co.uk/podcasts/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a> - you can also watch on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@howdoyousaythat" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, or say to your smart speaker "Play How Do You Say That?!"</p><p><strong><u>About our guest:</u> </strong></p><p>Trev Fleming is an experienced actor and voice actor who’s been doing silly voices for over 15 years (well, longer actually but that's how long he's been getting paid for it!).
